Tripod Aircraft Recovery System 50 Ton Capacity

Model #: 9162-012
The Low Profile Tripod-Style Recovery Jack can be manually or power operated from a remote console unit. Its tripod configuration is similar to standard maintenance tripod jacks except the ram has been replaced with a solid head and multi-stage hydraulic cylinder as used for each of the three legs. This design permits lateral movement of the jack head, within limits, to compensate and control the arc through which the aircraft jack point moves as the aircraft is righted to a level attitude. The advantage of the Tripod-Style System is that side loads are virtually eliminated and provides stability during the aircraft recovery.
